Today’s episode is a rerelease of the beautiful conversation I had earlier this year with Becca Rich, in celebration of her hosting the 2025 ‘Living in Sync Roundtable’, during which I will be a guest speaker. You can find more details below.
Becca Rich is a trauma-sensitive, certified holistic coach with a background in engineering and mindfulness, who teaches Holistic Time Management. In this episode, she shares with us her wisdom on the meaning of time, the role of control, how we can honor the cyclical nature of our bodies within our digital calendars and so much more. She also coaches me on the part that grief plays in experiencing loss of time and freedom, especially with having a child.
Tune in to hear more from us on:
- The perspective on time that it is everything and that it is short but it is long
- Time anxiety and feelings of grief at the loss of time freedom with having children
- Finding satisfaction at the end of the day and embracing a digital calendar liberation practice
- How to deal with overcommitment and overwhelm
- The importance of respecting our natural cycles and working with our bodies, minds, and spirits instead of forcing them into a rigid structure
